Channel: ImmigrationThe easy answer is “no.”
Since 1917, Puerto Ricans are American citizens by default. We have American passports, and can move to the mainland United States just like someone moves from Kansas to Ohio.
So why does former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, who is running for Senate as a Democrat for Arizona, self-identify himself as the son of immigrants?
